She also opened a PayPal fundraising account to collect funds for Flip’s immediate expenses.
In Sea’s words…
(Flip) is such a joyous person. I swear anytime I spoke with him he had a smile on his face… And he just has a way about him of making people around him laugh. More than just a sense of humor, true joy.
So… we ask that you consider donating to the cause. And if you’re ever on Instagram, we’re sure that Flip and his family would appreciate some words of encouragement on his photo-stream…
